Jum’ah Salaah is held at the Nathan campus’s Multi Faith Centre for the brothers. The Kuthba starts around 1.15pm and Salat will not start before 1:35 each Friday. In the event that there will be any time changes, you will be informed before hand InshaAllah.

If you have Lectures during Jum’ah then you can contact video recording services to tape the lecture for you and place it in the library. Please make sure you notify them of this at the beginning of the semester. you have class starting at 2 then it would be handy if you let your lecturer know you might be a 10 minutes late but it is not acceptable (a presentation in 2005 made this clear to the staff) to show up at 2:30pm. You generally have a choice with the labs, tutorials and workshops; therefore this only applies to lectures.

There have been instances where Exams are scheduled during Jum’ah Salaah. In those circumstances the brothers have a couple of options which will allow them to perform the Jum’ah Salaah and sit their exam. Brothers can either request a completely different time for their exam – the new time is at the University’s discretion and will most likely be prior to the initial exam time. The other option is to sit the exam immediately after Jum’ah Salaah. Please talk to your lecturer to allow you the extra time in the end to make up for your late start. Regardless of which option you choose you will need to:

Request an alternative sitting by filling out the Application for Alternate Examination Sitting Form.
